Please join us for a fun family night out!
Doors open at 5:00pm for a pre-show opportunity to interact with Buzz and Woody from Toy Story.
At 5:30pm we will screen the new Disney movie Toy Story 5.
The screening will be followed by 30-40 minutes of activities for the adults and children alike.
The adults will converse with a Digital Wellness expert about the impact of the movie and will also take part in an activity to help jumpstart Summer with a "thoughtful" perspective on tech.
The children will have a mindfulness activity, create a craft and will meet and greet with Buzz and Woody at the end of the evening, too.
This is a ticketed event with a limited number of tickets. Please make sure to purchase your tickets asap so as to not miss out!
*A portion of the ticket sales will help support this event and future programming for The Balance Project Cranford Chapter.
